This money helps the agency recruit, screen, train, match and support all volunteer/child matches throughout the year. Because of the organization’s efforts, over 100 children have a caring, volunteer mentor to spend time with on a regular basis. Recent research has proven that one-to-one mentoring has a measurable impact on the lives of the children and youth.
